Marriot WiFi blocking - how ?

I was just randomly thinking about this....
How did Marriot block patrons from using their own WiFi hotspot ?
- jamming freqs wouln't work - as their own sigs would fail too
- hijack SSID would work for awhile
- only register MAC of real computers connected to network
- ???

Basically, the NetEnforcer box detects "rogue" access points, and
floods the AP with deauth frames from a forged MAC address. There are
similar systems from other vendors used to detect rogue access points
in corporate or secure environments.
